Background:
 
Virtual Subhosting allows businesses to support multiple VPS on the same physical server. Each VPS appears and performs virtually the same as the physical server, but is isolated from impacting other VPS's on the same physical machine. Even if a virtual server is hacked, the physical machine and other virtual servers are still secure, and a user on one VPS cannot detect anything happening to another VPS on the same physical machine. To protect a business using VPS technology, vigilance in implementation of security techniques is still critical in each of the virtual environments. As the inventor of Virtual Private Server technology in 1996, Verio continues to be the foremost expert in this innovative type of server infrastructure and hosting.
